Option to move files rather than to copy them in "consolidate Project"

The option to move files rather than to copy them in "consolidate Project" seems to be missing in LPX. Bummer. Am I missing something?

Hello Darlene.
I don't know if this is what you want, but you may try configuring your applications screen to handle specific file types in a way you prefer:

How do I move file rather than copy them from place to place?

I'm not able to figure out how to move files. Every time I drag them from place to place in Finder all it does is makes a copy. How do I move them? I'm tired of copy and delete, then empty the trash... I'm just not getting it.

Try this:
To move files to a different disk without copying them, hold down the Command key while you drag the icons.
I know it works in Leopard, and I think it also works in Tiger. If it doesn't, then there is a contextual menu module called MoveCM - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - that should do the trick.

How to store images as disk files rather than in iphoto db

Is there a way to make iPhoto maintain the images as disk files, rather than import them into iphotos massive database file. I would prefer to use iphoto to just store a link to the photo, rather than the photo itself. That way I can work with the image in photoshop or whatnot without having to jerk around with the iPhoto database/

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No need to find a workaround. You can use Photoshop from inside iPhoto.
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How can I change my safari preferences to save a file rather than download

How can I change my safari preferences to save a file rather than it downloading

When I click on the 'save application file, it download's it and doesn't give me the option to save it.
I can't be sure, but what probably happens is that the page doesn't give you a link to a downloadable file, but a button which activates a script. There's nothing you can do about that, because you don't control the script.
it just downloads the transcripts not the document.
It sounds like the downloaded file does not open or execute as it's supposed to (which, for instance, would happen if what you downloaded was a Java application, but you didn't have Java installed).
If you are allowed to, give us the URL and we'll have a look. Also, you should add what version of Mac OS X and of Safari you are using, and you should correct your profile (which says "Mac Pro" -- this forum is for the MacBook Pro, which is a different computer from the Mac Pro).

Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it.

Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it. Can't always Right Click for menu option as the web page is not setup that way.
Have tried trashing the Downloads.plist from the user library. Still no joy.
Thanks anyone

Hi guys
Thanks for suggestions. Carolyn, I did as you suggested but didn't solve problem. KeeChan, as explained in original post, that is my usual fallback but not all web sites work like that. Try downloading Safari - right click (Ctrl Click) on download button and all you get is the "Download.png" image.
I finally found the answer. A long time ago I had downloaded and used "SpeedDownload" and had deleted it. Somehow, some trace of the app was left behind and the mime association with dmg files was messed up.
You can not get rid of Speed Download by throwing its files away or by using an app cleaner product. You MUST run the Speed Download installer program and select the "uninstall" option to remove it.
My browsers now download dmg files correctly.

The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?

The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?Would you be kind enough to help?

Hello,
Usually pink\purple background appears when "Show Grid Overlay" is enabled.
please go to View > Hide Grid Overlay and see if it works.
I am not sure if it will fix the problem as you said that pink\purple background appears when you place a swf file only.
If this do not fix the problem I would request you to share the screenshot of the design mode for better idea of the problem.

Why does browser download a file rather than displaying it?

I am using a Nexus 7 device. I have a website locally on the device together with all of the data files. When I use the browser to select a file it does not need to download it. I want it to call up a list of the programs that can display the file so that I can select which app to use. When I leave that app then I expect it to go back to the browser and the HTML web page I was previou. sly viewing. It has done that at various times but has stopped now. How do I get it to resume displaying the files rather than downloading them onto the same device?

Forefox won't start in windows XP: I get the message that windows "cant' find the exe file" even when I click from the program file, rather than the shortcut.

Delete the current Firefox shortcut on the desktop and create a new desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu on the Firefox.exe program (Send to > Desktop)

Thinking that I was deleting from my iPod, I have inadvertently deleted a lot of music from my iTunes library. I clicked for retaining on file rather than sending to trash. How do I get this music back from file into my library?

See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or simply import the media folder back into the library. Restoring a recent backup of the .itl database will restore the original date added values, ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. that would otherwise be missing from the reimported media.

You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.

What system and iPhoto version are you running and do you have Qjuicktime Player 7 installed. It would be in the Applications or Applications/Utilities folder.

Acrobat Reader 9.4 downloads files rather than opening in Firefox 3.6.12

Clicking on a pdf file link in Firefox causes the file to download rather than opening.
I've tried checking and unchecking the "open in browser" box in Reader without success.
In looking at the Applications list in FIrefox Tools>Options>Applications, there is no listing for Adobe Acrobat Document, and I can' t find a way to add that Application. There are two entries for Adobe Acrobat Forms Document and one for Adobe Acrobat XML Data Package. Changing the Action for them doesn't resolve the problem.
Looking at the Control Panel, there is only one instance of Acrobat Reader, that being 9.4.0. I've also tried using the Repair option in Reader.
I'm running XP3 Pro Service Pack 3.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Ken

You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\nppdf32.dll

How can I save an email as a download file rather than a file in my email

I wish to save entire emails in a windows folder rather than in an email folder. I have tried hitting "save as" but although I get a message telling me the download is complete I cannot open the documents. Also, I am getting weird icons after I try to download thses emails on my desktop. I am not that familiar with Mozilla but was running IE for the longest time. Any help would be appreciated.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

'''File|Save As''' gives you several options. By default it will save as a .eml file, which will need an email client to view. You can usually save by drag-and-drop, but that creates an .eml file too.
You can save as HTML by putting in an html file extension when doing File|Save As.
This add-on:

gives you multiple options for saving one or more messages in various formats.

Safari displays a .qfx file rather than writing it

When I connect to my local bank and direct it to download my transactions record as a .qfx file, Safari displays the contents of the file on the window, rather than writing the data to a .qfx file. I do not see this behavior with FireFox. Java scripts are enabled.
I'm running OSX 10.9 on a MacBook Pro.

Temporary files rather than firefox.exe are running when starting firefox

When I start firefox, it says the firefox is already running. Old firefox process needs to be stopped to start new one. When I see the firefox process and try to end it using end process option in windows task manager, it says access is denied. The properties of the said process show temporary file running rather than firefox,exe.

Please try to follow these steps :
